Oh my gosh, my first “I ACTUALLY DONT KNOW” test!

It’s crazy faint, if it’s even there at all, but I’m sure you ladies all know the feeling, right?

I’ve added two pics - the whiteish one is with no settings changed, and the yellowy looking one one I’ve fiddled around with the vibrance/saturation etc and I think it looks like something? I might be crazy.

We’re trying for the 2nd time, it’s our 6th cycle (I think?) and we lost our baby girl at 24 weeks in January - just a bit of background so you get an idea of how desperate I’m feeling!

(Also, testing early at what I think is 11dpo because it’s our 2nd wedding anniversary today and I thought it would be a nice surprise but now I’m just confused.)

Please help!

I really don't want to get your hopes up if I'm wrong, but in the first pic I can see a line. I can't see anything in the second one though.
I hope you get the answer you want!! Have you got any more tests? Try again tomorrow.

MummyToPrince · 15/07/2020 08:05

On the first one I can see a line but second one i can't, give it a day or 2 and test again, fingers crossed for you x

LouH1981 · 15/07/2020 08:18

Hi there, I am so very sorry to hear about your daughter, I cannot imagine how heartbreaking that must have been for you Flowers
I can definitely see a line on the first.
It looked exactly like my i/c squinter at 10 dpo. The following day I got a definite bfp on a CB and a FRER so I’d say leave it 24hrs and maybe try a different test. My rainbow from that test is currently 7 months old and pulling my hair while I type Smile
I have everything crossed for a lovely bfp and a sticky little bean for you xxxx

emiliet123 · 15/07/2020 09:57

Yeah it’s a definite squinter, if it even is one, isn’t it? I messed around with the settings but even in person it doesn’t look like much.

(Also I found a really good hack for taking better quality close up pics on an iPhone. Instead of snapping a pic, switch to video and screenshot the screen!)

Aw thank you @LouH1981 that is lovely! Fingers crossed. I have a CB early result and a CB digital so gonna try the CB tomorrow and then the digital on Friday if things are looking good!

I hate these tests, they drove me crazy when I was ttc! Sorry to hear about your loss. I’d be tempted to get a FRER Flowers good luck

emiliet123 · 15/07/2020 11:22

@Buzzfrightyears haha yeah last month I tested a stupid amount of times because I had so many. Only had two this month and used them both now, so reverting to the CB ones I have on standby 😂

Hopefully tomorrow gives us a little bit of something positive 🥰

Honestly, i’m still in the dark... no clearer on today’s CB test. Kinda looks like something but also looks like nothing. Again, messed around with the settings to try and make it clearer but idk.

Last test left is a CB digi. But I’m gonna put it off until Saturday (unless I can get to Tesco to buy another cheaper one!)

Honestly I don't know OP. There's something but I don't know if it's a shadow! Can you get a FRER?

RMarieClaire · 16/07/2020 09:01

Can you get a digi? I can see something on the first picture, and on the clearblue too, but it's so faint I do think I could be wrong. I have my fingers crossed for you - what a wonderful anniversary gift. x

emiliet123 · 16/07/2020 09:06

@zippityzip I just need to get to a Tesco to grab a couple (I’m currently at a caravan out in the sticks and only brought the two tests with me!)

@RMarieClaire yeah I have a digi but I’m not sure how sensitive they are? If it’s this faint on a strip then will the digi even pick it up? If I only have the one test left, when do you think the best time to use it would be? 😣

My AF is apparently due Sunday. But recently it’s been a couple of days early so honestly my predictions are totally out of the window. I haven’t been temping either so I’m in the dark... ish!

OP posts:
zippityzip · 16/07/2020 09:15

I'm due on Sunday too 🙂 I've had BFNs the last two days. Torn between gutted and hopeful as I'm not out until AF arrives.
Waiting two days and then testing again is probably the best advice.

emiliet123 · 16/07/2020 09:18

@zippityzip ah fingers crossed for you as well then! 😊

Okay so plan is to digi test on Saturday which feels ages away! And also order some tests via Amazon so I have some waiting for me at home when I get there on Sunday 😂 just in case AF doesn’t turn up Sunday and I need to test Monday...

OP posts:
RMarieClaire · 16/07/2020 11:18

Perhaps do the digi Sunday morning? I know what you mean about wasting. I've had some BFNs. I am irregular so not sure if I'm late or not really so hard to know when to test.

emiliet123 · 16/07/2020 12:55

Yeah @RMarieClaire I should really hang fire for as long as possible, shouldn't I? I am just feeling very impatient, although I know the wait for a positive is only the beginning of the stress and anxiety!

OP posts:
zippityzip · 17/07/2020 07:16

I understand your impatience don't worry 😂

emiliet123 · 17/07/2020 17:10

Ok girls, all signs are looking good - sore boobs, bit of nausea, bloody knackered... Last month I came on 2 days early, but none of that nonsense today 🥰 still gotta get through Saturday and do my best not to test until Sunday but I’m gonna need some words of advice! How do you stop obsessing? Or like, forget about testing? X

OP posts:
zippityzip · 18/07/2020 08:01

It's only one more day! Good luck 😄😄

Tuti · 18/07/2020 08:06

Superdrug own brand tests are the most sensitive, sending baby dust!

emiliet123 · 18/07/2020 09:44

Woohoo @zippityzip I managed to avoid using it this morning 😂 heading out and about today as well so won’t have time to linger over it... less than 24 hours to go and my period will officially be “late” 😂

@tuti yes I had heard that! I did use them the first time I was pregnant and one gave me a faint line at 12dpo but the dye looked like it had run and I wasn’t sure - so I saved my second one for the first day after my missed period and it was still a really faint positive!

OP posts:
zippityzip · 19/07/2020 12:09

Honestly don't know what to think of this. Period due to today so if it wasn't an evap then it should be stronger. This is a Superdrug early response.

I took the test apart but it was so so so so faint it wouldn't even show up on camera. This is within time frame. I think I just convinced myself something was there when it wasn't. Opinions please.

How are you getting on @emiliet123

Did u retest?

Purplefairy25 · 19/07/2020 20:17

@zippityzip I can see lines on your superdrug one

Mrschips07 · 19/07/2020 20:26

I can definitely see a line on that last one. If your AF is only just due its still very early days. I'd try again in 24/48 hours but sounds promising!

zippityzip · 20/07/2020 06:45

Adjusted the middle pic. The last pic is the original. Again so so so faint I can't actually get my hopes up. Period officially one day late.
Looks like I'm out to get some FRERS for tomorrow.
